Abstract
Background
With the wide spectrum of simulation modalities, combining different modalities may support the development of complex clinical skills that can prepare nursing students for making the transition to graduate nurse practice.
Aim
To describe the design and evaluation of a multi-modal simulation to facilitate final-year nursing students’ transition to clinical practice.
Methods
A mixed methods study design was employed to evaluate the multi-modal simulation. Pre and post-tests were conducted to evaluate final-year nursing students’ readiness for clinical practice. Individual interviews were conducted to evaluate long-term impact on clinical practice.
Result
The students reported significant improvement (p < .001) in their readiness for their clinical practice. Three themes emerged for the impact on their clinical practice: self-efficacy in clinical procedures; metacognitive awareness for transfer of learning; and beyond communication to building relationships.
Conclusion
The multi-modal simulation has an immediate effect on improving nursing students’ readiness for clinical practice. It also has a significant clinical impact on enhancing their self-efficacy in performing clinical procedures and metacognitive awareness as they migrate into the real clinical world.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
